Hi, I was about to order my new DU1E3 when I was told that due to the disklavier it was harder to play than the normal U1.... I was under the impression that the playability was identical.... Help as I just delayed my purchase fearing I would get something I did not enjoy,.... Thanks... JJ.

The solenoids do not interfere with the normal action on my DC3A. I've played both a C3 and DC3A and the action was the same. Not sure why a U1 would be any different as the solenoids hit the back of the keys to lift them. SJ --- In disklavier@yahoogroups.com, "rabbbbiiitttt" <huthwaite@...> wrote:

They are much harder to play when the in quiet mode, but otherwise no different. Sent from my iPad

They are different to play, but only slightly. I wouldn't say it was harder though - my MPX1Z (U1 MarkIIXG with silent system) feels slightly lighter to the touch when in silent mode and is more frustrating to play due to sounding delays on high velocity notes.

The DU1E3 will play the same as a U1 acoustic piano. The solenoids sit under the keys and are "out of the way." The sensing system is fiber optic and does not come in physical contact with the action of the piano.
Playing in Silent mode does affect the touch of the piano. However, there is no Silent mode on the DU1E3.Bill

There is a Silent mode on the DU1A in Europe.
